Epigraphic monuments are an important historical source for the study of the history of Central Asia. In recent years, continuous archaeological and epigraphic surveys of the Karshi oasis have been undertaken. A significant number of epigraphic monuments - gravestones - have survived to this day. The value of such monuments is that they have preserved for us information on many issues of ethnic terminology, toponymic nomenclature, ethnic migrations in the past, the activities of builders, the role of the rural community. Particularly important are information about feudal rulers, their activities, social terminology, data on the specific history of the peoples of the Karshi oasis and Central Asia as a whole.
